Announcing the Barclays Tel Aviv Class of 2017

Today is the first day of the 2017 Barclays Accelerator powered by Techstars program that will run for the next thirteen weeks.

We’ve expected that we’ll see the quality of companies applying to our accelerator increase from last year, but nothing could have prepared us for the absolutely stellar applications we received for Tel Aviv 2017. The companies joining us this year represent three different continents and a variety of business models and verticals.

With programs in London, Tel Aviv, New York and Cape Town, this has arguably become the most selective global Fintech Accelerator in the world with a growing list of alumni that are literally changing the face of financial services.

So here we are, excited to announce for the first time, the incoming class of Barclays Techstars Tel Aviv 2017:​
